Upcoming Events
Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead
Film Screening
Friday, February 3, 2012
7:00 p.m.
First Presbyterian Church - Rural Crookston, MN
 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and his hope. With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long-term, He turns to the only option left: the body's ability to heal itself.
Joe hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing to drink only fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. He has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.
What emerges is nothing short of amazing – an inspiring tale of healing and human connection. Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD defies the traditional documentary format to present an unconventional and uplifting story.
Free admission, discussion to follow.
Contemplatives in Conversation:
Sufi and Christian Perspectives
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
10:00 - 11:00 a.m.
Online Webinar
 Contemplative practice is often lauded as a common trait of many religious and spiritual traditions, yet approaches to contemplation can be as diverse as the traditions in which they are practiced. This webinar features two experts in conversation with each other about the contemplative traditions from Sufism and Christianity. Nahid Angha and Daniel Wolpert share their expertise and compare and contrast the contemplative practices of their respective traditions.

On-Going Opportunities
Integrative Medicine Care
Family medical services for all ages and all general illnesses. We provide standard family practice care and, for those who desire, we also integrate natural therapies into one's personalized treatment plan. This is a unique aspect of our clinic in that the physician can be someone's "regular doctor" and also can be their complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) health care provider.
